No super moon, but sunset was wild

[TravelingChick]

So I had a plan for the super moon. Lots of planning and scouting, and I found a location where the moon should rise directly over the breakwater light...

These two pics were taken ~7 minutes apart from approximately the same location:

Looking ESE:...

Such wonderful reflections. Beautiful.

[TravelingChick]

How wonderful!

[TravelingChick]

Amazing stuff!...

[TravelingChick]

Thank you! I think I have a spot picked out.

[TravelingChick]

OK, I was very confused as I thought the moon would be rising south of east, not north of east. I will try to get out to that location tonight and see...

[TravelingChick]

Yes! Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and the third-largest freshwater lake by volume. No sharks but terrible...

[TravelingChick]

Thank you. That was with the 150-600.

See my comment above about the Lake Superior. it is BIG.

Front moved in and we had cold temps and some snow in the air. The waves are certainly changing from the calm of the last few days. Gales of November......

[TravelingChick]

I have PhotoPils (free!) and it is really powerful and way smarter than me. The lighthouse that I have had in a few recent sunrise pics would look awesome...

[TravelingChick]

I'm desperately trying to figure out where the SuperMoon will rise and if I can get a good composition while in Marquette MI. Any tips or tools?

We've been to Marquette many times. I knew of this spot beforehand, and will probably be back depending on how long it takes to get the car repaired.

Great set, Iain.
